Best Shades... EVERAs a fishing guide I demand quality optics to protect my eyes from all day exposure to the sun, to identify hidden obstacles in the river, and pick out fish hiding along banks and other features. These glasses meet and exceed these demands. I own two pairs - the polarchromatic amber and the blue mirror lens. The polarchromatic amber is perfect for all light conditions - early morning / late evening low light - to bright overhead sun - perfect. The blue mirror lens is awesome for open water where light is very strong from all angles. The darker lens on the blue mirror displays shadows clearly while still offering awesome light blockage. The fit of the glasses is remarkable and the oversized lenses eliminate the need to squint during periods of bright sun. I highly recommend this product - two thumbs up!!

Great buy!I'm a lifeguard for the city of huntington beach and I need sunglasses that I can keep on from dawn to dusk and are able to take the abuse of sand, saltwater, and being dropped. I opted to get the polarchromatic ignitor lenses and they have not let me down. They are super comfy, the lenses are able to go from an overheated morning to a super glared sunset with out straining my eyes. If you plan on getting performance sunglasses, I highly recommend these.
Oh and they look pretty rad too. Not goofy or tacky at all.

The BUSINESS!!!!!These things make any other sunglasses i have totally obsolete. I work on the water and was concerned that the lenses would be too light but i've had no problem (i got the gray green chroma pop) with them in a wide array of light conditions. LOVE 'EM!!!!

GreatReally happy with these. I have black / copper mirror glass. I was a little worried about the lens tint changing in the light, I thought the glasses might look like those weird transitions lenses. Happy that it's no problem at all!! The ting shift isn't noticeable and the silver flash on the lens helps hide your eyes.
I've only used these in the winter and snow so far and they are awesome. The copper lens seems to be great for everything. Can't wait to fish in them when the ice melts!! These are an upgrade from my old Smith Mogul with grey glass lens.

These are on a whole new level!I have always loved Smith products but the Touchstone takes it to whole new level. The glass lenses are crystal clear and the polarchromic copper cuts right through any glare making fishing in the sun a much more pleasant experience. I need a large fit sunglass and these are perfect. I literally wear them everywhere I go outside, even in the rain. Smith Optics is a stellar company and the Touchstone exemplifies this!

Best pair of shades I have ever ownedAs a professional fly fisherman, I have worn many different brands and styles of sunglasses. The Touchstone has become my all time favorite for just sheer comfort and style. Not to mention superior lenses for every scenario I may encounter. The best part about wearing them? It's that I forget I even have sunglasses on. I highly recommend these shades.

AWESOME!!I purchased a pair of the Touchstone with polychromic lenses about a year ago. I have to say…THE BEST sunglasses ever owned!!! The lenses brighten everything and the coverage is fantastic!! Those sunglasses were recently stolen (who steals sunglasses?) So, I picked up another pair and I'm counting the days until they get to my doorstep.
GET THESE SUNGLASSES!!! You won't be disappointed!!

Outside of genetics, the cornerstone of eye health is protecting your peepers from the sun. The Smith Polarized ChromaPop Touchstone Sunglasses are named appropriately, as these shades are a critical piece of eye-saving apparel. Polarized ChromaPop TLT lenses block 100% of damaging UVA, B, and C rays while eliminating color confusion and upping the ante on visual clarity. Tapered lens technology won't distort images your eyes send your brain, so you have to find a different scapegoat for your warped world views. Sleek and stylish, these shades also have an anti-reflective coating to cut down on backlight glare, and the stainless steel spring hinges give you a perfect fit every time. Hydrophilc Megal nose and temple pads grip a little tighter when it starts to drizzle so you don't have to worry about your nose turning into water-slide for your sunglasses while you run for cover.
